Operation
The Vax BLISS has a special handling feature. The handle is in the front. There are small directional wheels at the bottom for
easy movement around the house, (Pict. 9 - 10).
Carrying and moving the vacuum cleaner
This motor is equipped with a protective motor thermostat. If for some reason the vacuum cleaner should overheat, the
thermostat will automatically turn the unit off.
1. Should this occur unplug the vacuum from the wall out let and press the off switch, change dust bag and clean filters.
2. Allow the unit to cool for approximately 1 hour.
3. To restart, replug into the wall outlet and turn switch back on.
Ionizer function
Ionizers help to further clean the air of airborne particles working in conjunction with a HEPA filter. When the ionizer
component of the unit is turned on, there is electricity or voltage applied to an internal needle that produce electrons which
are subsequently discharged into the air. Once the electrons bond to air molecules, ions are produced and discharged into
the room. They will then attach themselves to cigarette smoke, pollen, dust, and pet dander and will either fall to the floor to
be swept later or be collected by the ionizer vacuum cleaner.
